He organized the 2010 Clean Energy Summit in Washington, D.C., a national symposium co-sponsored with Lawrence Livermore National laboratory, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Institute for the 21st Century, the Science Foundation, the National Venture Capital Association and the Oak Ridge National laboratory. A series of follow-up conferences and regional meetings are scheduled.

On issues of national energy policy, Mr. Campbell directed the Program on Presidential Policy Making: Formulating a Bipartisan Energy and Climate Policy for America. Its Roundtable and Workshop were hosted by the Woodrow Wilson and Howard Baker Centers in 2009 in Washington, DC.

Before joining Baker Donelson, Mr. Campbell was the founder and former CEO of Washington Policy and Analysis serving as an energy policy consultant and advisor to U.S. and foreign government agencies, national laboratories and energy and technology companies.
